Soft drink giant conquers deep-sea: human waste found at 4500 meters depth30 Sep 2016The human impact on this environment is particularly large and goes much further than we realize.
Proof of this is the discovery of a can of Coca-Cola at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. In the vast body of water that is the Pacific - sailing about 5 days from the mainland at a depth of up to...

NeMys launches two new identification keys: Rhynchonema & Monhysteridae1 Jun 2016While the Nemys editorial team is working hard behind the scene to have the list of free-living marine nematodes as complete and up-to-date as possible by this summer, one of the first accomplishments was reached from the long run aims. That is adding new identification keys based on up to date...
PhD defence Freija Hauquier27 May 2016Environmental and spatial constrains on Antarctic marine nematode distribution:
The distribution of organisms across the globe is not random, an observation that has stimulated the search for rules and explanations for the processes behind it. In general, there is a consensus that local species...
